In San Juan del Río, Mexico, Mayor Roberto Cabrera Valencia reported that the municipality ranks 18th in per capita budget among municipalities in Querétaro. The mayor attributed this low ranking to historically low collection rates from property taxes and construction licenses. Despite being the second most populous municipality in the state, the city faces challenges in providing basic services like water, electricity, and drainage to certain neighborhoods due to rapid population growth and a lack of long-term urban planning.
